Zhang Qing didn't notice his change in mood and was still excitedly saying, "You were right! That guy has been trying to sell it for so many days, he must be getting anxious. Otherwise, he might not have sold it for 40 yuan."
Zhang Qing rambled on for a long time without receiving a response, but he didn't seem to care.
Qin Huai was naturally a man of few words. When the two of them were together, he was the one who talked the most, while Qin Huai would only occasionally respond with a few words like "um," "oh," or "okay."
Zhang Qing was already used to it.
So he went straight to his own idea and said, "Brother Qin, now that we have the tickets and you've saved enough money, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative together? I'll buy the thermos and also two pounds of apples that my sister-in-law bought. My brother keeps asking for them, saying he hasn't had enough."
Qin Huai finally raised his head and put the tickets and money in his pocket.
I thought to myself: Oh well, even if we have to separate, she has indeed done a lot for the family this past month. Let's just consider it as a way of thanking her for her contributions to the family during this time.
Thinking it over, Qin Huai immediately turned around and said, "Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
At midday, Huang Jiajia was leaning on the counter, feeling sleepy.
It's currently the busy autumn harvest season in the village, so much so that the supply and marketing cooperative hardly has any visitors each day.
In the middle of the day, Huang Jiajia wished she could just close the shop and go to sleep, but unfortunately, the shop wasn't hers to own; she was just an employee, so she couldn't do whatever she wanted.
Huang Jiajia was a little dazed. She was dreaming that she had become rich and would no longer have to work, and could comfortably sleep at home every day when suddenly there were two thumping sounds in front of her.
"Wake up, get up and start selling!"
Huang Jiajia opened her eyes with a start and met Zhang Qing's teasing gaze. "Wipe your drool. You're such a young girl, drooling in your sleep. How embarrassing."
Huang Jiajia immediately raised her arm and wiped the corner of her mouth. When she saw that she was really drooling, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
But the next second, her gaze suddenly fell on the man standing in front of the watch counter.
Finding the man somewhat familiar, Huang Jiajia quickly walked over. When she recognized Qin Huai as the man who had come with Qiao Qiqi, her eyes lit up.
"Oh, it's you! Why did you come alone? Where's your wife?"
As she spoke, Huang Jiajia craned her neck to look at the door, only to find that there was no one outside.
Qin Huai's eyes darkened. "She won't be my wife for long."
"Did you two have a fight?"
Huang Jiajia immediately looked away. Noticing that Qin Huai's tone was off, she smiled and said, "Husbands and wives quarrel and make up. You're a man, so you have to be magnanimous. Besides, I think your wife is great. She often comes to my place to buy chicken cakes and malted milk powder, saying that you work hard in the fields and she specially buys them for you to eat."
Qin Huai realized that Qiao Qiqi had indeed been buying things for home frequently over the past month, and then stuffing them into his pockets every day when he went to the fields.
He was initially very grateful, but now...
Realizing she was faking it all, Qin Huai lowered his eyes sadly and said nothing more.
"Brother Qin, did you and your wife have a fight?" Zhang Qing, having overheard their conversation, belatedly realized that Brother Qin's mood was a bit off. He quickly went to Qin Huai's side and subconsciously asked, "What did you do to upset my sister-in-law?"
Qin Huai: "..."
Seeing that only a month had passed, and Zhang Qing's heart had already turned to Qiao Qiqi, Qin Huai couldn't help but sigh inwardly that her acting skills were truly excellent; she had not only fooled him, but even Zhang Qing had been deceived.
However, thinking that his parents were now praising Qiao Qiqi, Qin Huai immediately felt relieved.
Even someone who's lived half their life couldn't see anything wrong, so it's not surprising that he and Zhang Qingcai, who've lived for twenty years, didn't notice.
No longer dwelling on the issue, he pointed directly to a women's watch with a silver strap and a light gold dial and said, "Let me take a look at this one."
"Okay." Huang Jiajia opened the counter, took out the watch, and handed it to him.
Qin Huai took it in his hand and looked at it. The silver strap looked quite shiny, and the watch was small and exquisite. It was very beautiful when paired with the gold dial.
Zhang Qing leaned closer and said, "This watch is really beautiful! Your sister-in-law has fair skin, she'll definitely look good in this watch!"
Qin Huai also thought that Qiao Qiqi would definitely look good in it!
Seeing that the two seemed quite satisfied, Huang Jiajia smiled and said, "This watch is a new model. I haven't been here long, but your wife has come to look at it several times. Because she doesn't have a watch voucher, she hasn't been able to bring herself to buy it."
Qin Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he handed the watch back immediately, "I'll take this one, please wrap it up for me."
As he spoke, he took out 105 yuan from his pocket, along with the watch receipt, and placed them on the counter, according to the marked price.
"Wow, I got the watch voucher!" Huang Jiajia saw the voucher and realized that the deal was done. Instantly, all her drowsiness was dispelled.
This single order earns more than I would have made selling goods in three days!
That's great, Director Sun will definitely praise her!
Zhang Qing watched as Huang Jiajia carefully wrapped up the watch before taking out money and thermos tickets. Pointing to the green thermos across the street, he said, "Pick one with good heat retention for me."
"Okay!"
Huang Jiajia was overjoyed after selling two big items and happily saw the two off at the door.
Standing on the street, Zhang Qing turned his head and asked, "Brother Qin, are we going back to the health center?"
Qin Huai thought for a moment and said, "No, let's take the bus back to the village."
Zhang Qing had the same idea. Anyway, everything was fine at the hospital. They had already done their best by bringing the person over and taking up an afternoon of work.
Since the person is alright, they don't need to go over there anymore.
